"Dance and music are an important part of everyday life. In cultures all over the world, people of all
generations dance to celebrate accomplishments, communicate messages, and show community pride.
Teaching dance and music ensures that the cultural history lives on forever. Many cultures believe that dance is for everyone, just as Step Afrika! believes that stepping is for everyone!" Step Afrika engaged the school in many informative dancing activities. Students were thrilled to be a part of this assembly. This free performance has been made possible through The Washington Performing Arts Society. More information on Step Afrika! can be found on www.stepafrika.org.
